WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Phones eh? They’re responsible for that fun gig you watched on YouTube for a band that never played in the country you live in. They’re responsible for that video where someone lost their shit on stage and made the news, and now we all got to see it rather than relying on someone’s word for…

We’ve featured Dora Morelenbaum on these pages before so we’re excited to share that she has her debut LP coming out soon! With a mix of bossa, samba and psych, Dora’s music has showcased her to be one of the most exciting new Brazilian artists in the scene. The new album is called ‘Pique’ and…

Outside of Japan and Korea, everything is a little bit Solo Artist, so it’s lovely to see the flame of girl groups still being carried by FLO who have been doing good bits for a while now with their brand of R&B infused pop music. They recently shared their new track ‘Check’ which they have…

We appreciate that some people like it when rock and rap mix. There’s no accounting for taste and all that, but the nadir of the late ’90s and early ’00s when Woodstock went from a peace and love festival and turned into an awful frat house party filled with rap-rock groups shows just how dismal…

Britney Spears has, shall we say, had a very full life. It hasn’t all been peaches and cream, which means news that her life will be getting the biopic treatment is tentatively good news. We say it tentatively because not all biopics are good, but we are 100% rooting for this one because we think…

It all felt somewhat inevitable that young people would look at the streaming model and wonder why they didn’t have anything to show for their money. Obviously, the convenience of having most of the world’s music in your pocket is a miracle of a thing, but when you look around your room or your house…

Look, the rap musical Hamilton was awful. You don’t need to point out how successful it has been, how Lin Manuel Miranda is probably a nice guy, or even how much you liked it – it stunk. One dimensional rapping over old-head beats performed by a cast portraying a bunch of racist white dudes who…

We were reading about tg.blk over at another site and liked what we heard. Instead of hoarding this information to ourselves, we thought we would share it here, because that’s what good people do. Seriously – stop hoarding music to yourself – nobody wins when you do that. tg.blk have a new six track EP…

Doechii has called herself a number of things over the years – the one we like best is “the trap Grace Jones” – and if that’s piqued your interest, shall we get onto the lovely business of a new record to listen to? She’s got a new one out called ‘Nissan Altima’, which to the…

It is kinda funny that Charli XCX announced BRAT SUMMER when Confidence Man have been acting up for ages now, sneering and partying like the world might end tomorrow. With that, they’ve got a new song out called ‘SO WHAT’ which is the usual mixture of pouting and hedonism which is difficult to pull off…

NEW CHEEKY BANGER FROM HONEY DIJON
Sometimes, what you really need is an uplifting, catchy, poppy House track to lift your spirits and your mood. One of the finest purveyors of this kind of thing is the legendary Honey Dijon, who has donned her producer hat with a gem of a new track. She’s releasing a new album, aptly called ‘Nightlife’,…

MIXCLOUD ROUND-UP MARCH
Here’s the first in what promises to be a sporadic round-up of some of the best shows that have cropped up on Mixcloud. We’re not on the payroll, but we’re hard-pressed to find a better platform for true music lovers sharing their radio shows and mixes for free for those who need ’em. There’s a…

HEAVY PSYCH FROM THE JUNIPERS
We have already played the new, brilliant track from The Junipers on our radio show. If you tuned in, you’ll know just how fabulous it is to have the greatest band in the world making music again. If you didn’t, don’t worry. The Leicester band have released a video for ‘When She Turns’. The group…

LA SÉCURITÉ DANCE-PUNK
We don’t know how we stumbled across the music of La Sécurité, but we did and played them on our latest radio show, not knowing that there was new music coming out – which it totally is, and we have some to share right here! The Canadian group make an infectious, post-punk-but-danceable racket, and have…
